Aniai Elementary School

Nekko Elementary School

Nekko Elementary School

Nekko ES School Logo - Pine trees: no relation to Nekko in particular; they pay homage to the Pine Tree poem. ネ: two katakana characters, standing for Nekko, are placed encircling the center element on both sides; the one on the left is mirrored. War fans and swords; both are drawn from Nekko Bangaku. (designed in 1957)

Nekko Elementary School was founded on October 3rd, 1877 as the Nekko Branch School of Arase Elementary School. It shut its doors on March 22nd, 1998 when it merged into Aniai Elementary School.

The Nekko ES building has since been torn down; only the school gym remains. The gym has been repurposed as the Nekko Bangaku Museum (根子番楽伝承館; Nekko Bangaku Denshōkan).

Nekko Elementary School Song
根子小学校校歌
庄司　文吉（しょうじ　ふみきち）　作詞
後藤惣一郎（ごとうそういちろう）　作曲

一、

めぐる山河は　うるわしく

やすらかな里　わが根子

つたえゆかしき　番楽に

又鬼（またぎ）の面影（かげ）を　しのびつつ

学びいこうよ　この窓に

二、

心清める　根子川

のぞみはぐくむ　根烈岳

大空高く　飛ぶ雲に

のびゆくむらを　えがきつつ

学びいこうよ　この窓に

Poem - "The Pine Tree"
松の木

左につかえると右へ

右につかえると左へ

一分でも一厘でも

のびられるとき

のびられる方へのびておく

木の根はかしこい
